Honda Activa 125 — Overview

The Honda Activa 125 is a scooter available at a price range of Rs. 92,529 - Rs. 97,903 in India. It comes in 3 variants and 8 colours. It is powered by a 123.92 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 47 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Honda Activa 125 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Activa 125 scooter weighs 107 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 5.3 liters. It develops a power output of 8.3 bhp and a torque of 10.5 Nm.

India's favourite 125cc scooter just got genuinely smart. The 2025 Honda Activa 125 now packs a 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth - features you'd normally expect on bikes costing twice as much - starting at just Rs 89,406. The 123.92cc engine still delivers that reassuringly smooth power that's made the Activa name synonymous with reliability, and the claimed 47 kmpl ARAI mileage is one of the closest-to-real-world figures in the segment. Three variants - 25 Year Anniversary Edition, DLX, and H-Smart - let you choose between value-focused and fully connected, while Honda's 25-year legacy in India means service centres are never far away. Against rivals like the Suzuki Access 125 and TVS Jupiter 125, the Activa 125 now competes on features and tech, not just reputation.

Honda Activa 125 Latest Updates

View all

  • Honda launched the 25 Year Anniversary Edition of the Activa 125 in August 2025 to mark Honda's 25 years in India, priced at Rs 97,270 (ex-showroom).

What We Like

  • Extremely smooth and refined engine with virtually no vibration even in stop-go Mumbai traffic
  • Real-world mileage of 45-50 kmpl closely matches the 47 kmpl ARAI claim
  • Wide, comfortable seat works well for both rider and pillion on long city commutes
  • 4.2-inch TFT display with Bluetooth, Honda RoadSync app and USB-C charging - segment-first features

What Could Be Better

  • Rear suspension is too soft and noticeably bottoms out over large potholes and sharp speed bumps
  • Rear brake lacks feel and feedback - you never quite know how much bite you're getting
  • Seat-opening mechanism is unintuitive and can frustrate first-time owners

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Honda Activa 125?

The 2025 Honda Activa 125 is the most capable version of an already proven formula - smooth engine, honest mileage, and a service network that covers every nook of the country. The TFT display and Bluetooth push it firmly into modern territory for a scooter under Rs 95,000. If you want a reliable daily rider that won't surprise you with surprises, this is the safe bet - but if aggressive suspension performance or sportier handling matters, look at the TVS Ntorq 125 instead.
